I have a similar problem, with the terms average and athletic. Men and women both seem to have different views on what both is. A lot of women put average, when in my opinion are overweight. Men seem to put athletic, when they are overweight. Damn if I know.

I chose "ample" as a size 16/18 because I'm not "large," and "Zaftig" and "voluptuous" aren't options.

I do very clearly describe myself as a BBW in my profile proper, though I am not "large." I literally do have an hourglass shape about me. But I'm not average or athletic or "a few extra pounds," etc. and won't make that claim. I also have several current photos of myself fully-clothed, full body shots so that there can be no mistaking what I look like.

Honesty is the best policy, no matter what. For some men, size is not an issue. But for many, it is. I want no misunderstandings.

I agree that honest is the best policy, and I will err on the side of "less desireable" if there is any question. (And to anyone who just thought "How can he be any less desireable?" pppffftttt ... sticks tongue out at you)
